Archos Child Pad arrives at FCC, escapes drool-free

If our eyes don’t deceive us, that’s the Archos Child Pad that just arrived at the FCC. Now, we know what you’re thinking: any proper test of this tablet would require someone gnawing on the corners and drooling on the screen, but c’mon — this is the FCC we’re talking about. Curiously, the test documents reveal support for 802.11n, which comes as a nice surprise, since we’d previously only known of support for 802.11b/g. As you might’ve expected, WiFi is the only radio in the Child Pad, which means the little one won’t be pairing it with any Bluetooth devices or putting the hurt on your data plan any time soon. This rubbery, resistive touch, Ice Cream Sandwich-filled creation was previously announced for $129 with availability in late March. While the Archos folks may have missed that goal, with the FCC’s stamp of approval, it appears your tike won’t have long to coat the Child Pad in celebratory slobber.
